One house... two offers!

So as you may have guessed from the title, Matt and I put our first offer on a house in Sioux Falls!!! After 2 1/2 days of some serious house hunting our realtor called me yesterday morning with a last minute addition. A beautiful house in a beautiful location! Matt and I met Wendy at the house. Her first comment to me was, "it's going to need some painting". haha... like I haven't painted a house before! :)

As we walked through the house we got more and more excited. There were a few things here and there that needed to be done but overall the house was a perfect fit. Built in 1999 the home had only seen one owner, always a nice perk. I won't go into too much detail about the house, although I'm sure you are all dying to know! :) I just don't want to get too ahead of ourselves.

Wendy talked to us about the location, which was ideal in her book. She owned a home just around the corner at one time! The school district is great, there are walking paths and parks near by, she even knows the next door neighbors! :) Wendy asked us what we thought and we both finally agreed on a house! Wendy teased Matt and me because up to this point one of us would always try to talk the other one out of the house... why? who knows! But this time we finally agreed this would make a great house for us... and our future babies, ha :)

Off to Wendy's office we went. She's been putting long hours in because of us! But we are very thankful to have found her. She's thorough, honest and extremely hard working. She helped us write up the offer and after about an hour we signed on the dotted line and that was that! :)

We are praying if this is the right house for us that the details would work out smoothly...

But there is a catch with this seemingly ideal situation. There is one house and TWO offers! Another couple has an offer but it's a contingent offer, meaning they need to sell their current home before they could actually purchase the house. Since we put in an offer, the other couple has 2 days to either retract the contingency or withdraw their offer.

It's all in the Lord's hands now!! We pray God's will be done. We would love to have this home but are fully trusting God to work out the details if it's meant to be! :) Ah, so exciting though!

We will keep you posted!!
